When the World Is with the Tzadik, He Has Dominion

166 – When the World Is with the Tzadik, He Has Dominion When the world is with the tzadik (righteous person), then he has dominion. For Elisha is at times referred to as "the man of G-d", and at times simply as "Elisha." And our Rabbis, of blessed memory, said (Zohar, Beshalach 44a): "When the sons of the prophets were with him, he was called 'the man of G-d'. But when he was alone, he was referred to simply as 'Elisha.'" [This teaches that the presence of others with the tzadik grants him stature and influence, while isolation diminishes how he is addressed, though not his essence.]
